AT&T Sunday evening ahead of Mondayís highly-anticipated WWDC 2013 event announced that the carrier has revised their Upgrade Policy.

Now instead of waiting 20 months after signing up for a two-year agreement, AT&T notes that customers will have to wait the full 24 months of the two-year agreement to be eligible for a phone upgrade:

Notably, AT&Tís new upgrade policy will only apply to customers whose two-year agreement expires in March 2014 or later. If your two-year agreement with AT&T expires before this date, you are not affected by the policy change. AT&T mentions that the change will align upgrades with AT&T's standard two-year agreements.

Verizon in April announced a similar policy change that forced customers under contract to wait 24 months rather than 20 months if the agreement expired on or after January 2014.

So you mean you now have to complete the 24 month agreement you signed?

It's actually a bad business move on their part. Before, you were offered a discount on an upgraded phone before your contract expired in exchange for signing a new 2-year contract. I can't speak for others, but it's literally the only reason I've remained with AT&T this long.

I love sprint. Been with them for 3years just love paying for cheaper bills and unlimited data. I used 65GB last month and didn't pay an extra cent or shed dollars for every mb/ I go over.

No offense, do what you do. But 65GB is ridiculous. That right there is the reason all these carriers limit our data usage these days. Or throttle our speeds. Not really people like you, because you're on Sprint and you pay more for your data service. But people would do that on other carriers, and at $20/month, it's no wonder they pulled unlimited data.
